    I have a Facebook on my device but in settings and notifications I can't make changes because it does not detect the FB account. The message I get is to add an account to the device to make changes to the notification settings. Any advice?

    It's the app. You press "add account" then log into your FB account and you'll be all set.

    Add account where? I did that when I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I can open FB as usual.

    Go into settings/accounts, select add account at the bottom, add your Facebook account and you should be all set.

    Under Settings / Accounts the FB account is already there. I can access FB. The issue is that in Settings / Notifications I cannot toggle the notifications button.

    Have you tried deleting the account and the app completely off the device and re downloading and setting it back up?

    The actual Facebook app for BlackBerry really requires an update.

    Yes, I wish we had a third party native app race like we do for twitter. Which is ironic since the twitter app by BlackBerry is actually not that bad.

    I don't think it is, unless they did make it and somehow have an agreement with BlackBerry to offload all the app customer support.

    Done this many times. After a few months same issue will apply. I know the app itself needs fixing that's for sure.

    I set up my wife's PP to be like my Z10 (My own PP coming soon), where I have the FB notifications set to NOT show in the hub, but still hear the dedicated ringtone assigned to it, even if FB is not in active frame and closed. I noticed it wasn't working on the PP. When you opened the app all the backlogged notifications would ring like crazy. I just applied the same method above and it now appears to be solved. Thanks!

    Take a look at BBW and check the author of the app. The link you showed is legacy OS twitter. They don't seem to mention BlackBerry 10 at all. Even though it says they made the BlackBerry 10 app.

    There's nothing in Twitter's tech support pages about a BlackBerry App except to tell you to contact BlackBerry because they're not responsible for or able to provide updates for it. I know what BlackBerry World shows, but it may just be whatever agreement they have. Other than that, everything else points to BlackBerry being entirely responsible for the continued development, maintenance and support of the app,.. which is really the only thing that matters at this point (and, which they are doing a better job at than with the Facebook app).
